Re: [Emc-users] Desktops and OS's

I last tried Debian when picking a distro when switching to Linux a very long time ago. I've been using Ubuntu on my CNC tools and my desktop for the last few years and have converted some friends and family to Ubuntu... because I don't do Windows. I tried Debian again recently when it was

Re: [Emc-users] Linux Mint

I have Mate on both my Wheezy computers now and it's ok but still a very annoying interface. I suspect it is the Debian under the hood or just a lack of time spent on Mate to make it at least as good as Ubuntu 6.06 and 8.04 was. JT On 11/2/2015 4:53 PM, andy pugh wrote: > On 2 November 2015

Re: [Emc-users] Desktops and OS's

My search is for one that is less annoying than any that I have tried in Debian so far which includes X, Xfce and Mate. I feel the underlying Debian is part of the annoying behavior with the UI. It's really just plain stupid things like the login prompt and most times you start the synaptic

John, I strongly second all of that, Royal PITA. I believe I have finally gotten the network sharing aspect handled, but the printing is shot. If I need to print something off of the mill I am finishing up, that is running Debian wheezy, I have to save whatever it is to my thumb drive, and go

Re: [Emc-users] Spindle Voltage?

It depends. For an asynchronous motor lower voltage will mean lower available torque although it is technically possible to get full torque up to there 208 volt is needed for full power but only if the inverter deliver 208 volt at this point. For a synchronous permanent magnet motor voltage is

Re: [Emc-users] Spindle Voltage?

The VFD is an old EMS G3+ (Yaskawa) drive. The old motors were 200-240v(or 380-460v), 18,000rpm, 7hp. When running the old motors they were drawing about 5-7amps when running at 300Hz. The new motor's tag says 380v, 18,000rpm, 6kw and when running with the VFD set to 300Hz shows about 2 amps

Re: [Emc-users] Desktops and OS's

When I tried to use PayPal to print postage I was using my HP Deskjet 1220C large format printer and I think that was the problem for me. I assume if I had a normal office printer it might have worked. In any case I save money using Stamps.com on everything except flat rate so it was a win for

Re: [Emc-users] Desktops and OS's

I use Stamps.com as well on a windows machine and it loses the scale if I let it go to sleep at night with the program running and the scale on. Other than that it does better than going to the post office because you can use zone boxes that are much cheaper than regular parcels, too bad they

Re: [Emc-users] Spindle Voltage?

Trickier than that. Depending on the corner point it may be able to develop the same hp at half speed w/ twice the torque. One would think that an induction motor that needed variable speed would be designed to top out somewhere on the const hp part of the curve than right on the corner point.

[Emc-users] Spindle Voltage?

I recently purchased an inexpensive router spindle off of ebay. It is rated at 6kw and 380v 3ph. The old spindle I'm replacing was dual voltage and could be wired Y or delta, for 200-240 or 380-460 (7HP). Stupid me I didn't think to check the old VFD and it is only capible of low voltage

Hmm Maybe I'll get that new PC and just mess around with a few distros before committing to one and moving my data, email, etc. Or maybe I'll make a slight horizontal move from Ubuntu to Kubuntu for a less Mac-ish user interface. I blame PayPal and USPS for most of my PC woes. They're

To speak of Ubuntu vs. Debian is irrelevant when speaking of the user interface. You can run Xubuntu and it will have the same user interface as the one used in the linuxcnc version of debian wheezy. The differences are mostly minor in how they are set up. That said, I have generally found
